What to Do About Birds in Dryer Vents
Birds in Your Dryer Vent? Here’s What Homeowners in Holland, MI Should Know
Birds nesting in dryer vents is a surprisingly common — and dangerous — issue for homeowners across Holland, MI, Grand Rapids, and Grand Haven. At Dryer Vent Ninjas, we specialize in dryer vent cleaning, safe bird nest removal, and No-Pest Vent™ installation — the permanent solution to keep birds and pests out of your vent system for good.
Why Are Birds Nesting in Your Dryer Vent?
Dryer vents are warm, enclosed spaces that offer ideal protection for birds looking to build a nest or raise chicks. In colder West Michigan months, the heat from your dryer makes vents even more attractive to birds.
But what seems harmless can quickly become a serious threat to your home and family.
Dangers of Bird Nests in Dryer Vents
1. Fire Hazard
Birds often build nests using dry twigs, grass, and lint — all highly flammable materials. Combined with the hot air from your dryer, this creates a real fire risk.
2. Poor Dryer Performance
Blocked dryer vents reduce airflow, making your dryer work harder, run longer, and use more electricity. You’ll likely notice longer drying times and higher energy bills.
3. Health & Safety Issues
Bird droppings and built-up moisture can lead to mold, bacteria, and even carbon monoxide exposure in homes with gas dryers. If you’ve noticed musty smells or unusual heat in your laundry room, a blocked vent may be the culprit.
Dryer Vent Ninjas: Holland’s Bird Nest Removal Experts
If you suspect a bird has built a nest in your dryer vent, don’t remove it yourself — it may be illegal or unsafe. Many bird species are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and disturbing an active nest could lead to fines.
At Dryer Vent Ninjas, we offer safe, humane bird nest removal services throughout Holland and West Michigan. If the nest is active (with eggs or chicks), we’ll monitor the situation or help connect you with a licensed wildlife professional.
Once the nest is abandoned, we’ll:
Carefully remove all debris
Clean and sanitize the dryer vent line
Inspect for damage or clogs

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions about residential dryer vent maintenance or service?
Explore our most frequently asked questions below to learn more about Dryer Vent Ninjas. If you need additional info or want to speak with a local expert, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help with safe, efficient dryer vent solutions near you.
Is my dryer a potential fire hazard?
Unfortunately, dryers are a common cause of home fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association, on average, a dryer related fire occurs every 37 minutes in the U.S. Many of these could have been avoided by regular maintenance and cleaning of the vent line.
Does a clogged dryer vent impact the air quality in my home?
Yes, it can.
When dryer vents become clogged with lint, dust, and debris, they trap hot, humid air inside the system instead of venting it outside. This buildup can lead to mold and mildew growth—potentially affecting indoor air quality and causing respiratory issues, especially for those with asthma or allergies. In gas dryers, blockages may also result in dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, posing a serious safety hazard.
Can cleaning your dryer vent help reduce energy usage?
Your clothes dryer is one of the highest energy-consuming appliances in your home—accounting for around 6% of total electricity use.
When vents are clogged, airflow is restricted, forcing the dryer to work harder and use more energy per load. Clearing out that lint not only boosts efficiency but also helps extend the life of your dryer by reducing strain. In fact, improved performance from a clean vent can save you up to $300 a year on energy costs..
Why is vent cleaning essential for gas dryers?
Gas dryers produce carbon monoxide as part of the combustion process.
If the vent becomes clogged, this dangerous gas can back up into your home instead of being safely exhausted outside. Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential to maintain proper airflow, ensure safe operation, and help prevent carbon monoxide exposure.
Why is dryer vent maintenance important for controlling home humidity?
During a typical drying cycle, your dryer removes up to a gallon of moisture from your laundry.
That moisture, along with warm air and lint, travels through the vent system to be released outside. When the vent is clogged, it traps heat and humidity indoors—raising your home’s moisture levels. Regular dryer vent cleaning not only reduces fire risk, but also helps keep indoor humidity in check, creating a more comfortable environment for your family.
Does cleaning your dryer vent reduce environmental impact?
Regular dryer vent cleaning offers key benefits like improved energy efficiency, fewer unexpected (and expensive) breakdowns, and reduced release of lint and debris into your home and the environment.
